Coriaria, sps. In a foot-note to Dr. Lindsay's remarks on this genus, in his 

 Contributions to the Botany of New Zealand, he writes, — "I find the 

 opinion that there are three 'kinds' of 'Toot' unanimous among the more 

 observant settlers alike of Otago and Auckland, (representing Wanganui, 

 Eaglan, Coromandel, Kaipara, Hokianga, and other districts in the latter 

 province.)" It is difficult to account for the origin of this error. C. rusci- 

 folia is common over the entire province, and varies from a dwarf shrvibby 

 or even sub-hei*baceous plant, to a small tree ; the last form however being 

 comparatively rare. It is possible that the extreme forms may be con- 

 sidered distinct by settlers not well acquainted with the plant, but I never 

 met with anyone who expressed this ojiinion. Neither C. thymifolia nor 

 C. angustissima has been found so far north as Auckland.
